Six No Excuses University Schools Earn 2009 CBEE Foundation Award

Six No Excuses University Schools were recently named as California Business for Education Excellence schools.  These schools, Killybrooke Elementary, Los Penasquitos Elementary, Mango Elementary, Hollingworth Elementary, Julian Elementary, and Cielo Vista Elementary make up nearly half of all NEU Schools in the state of California.  As the website states:

“These schools are the bright spots of hope in efforts to raise student academic achievement and close persistent achievement gaps,” said Kirk Clark, executive director of CBEE. “By highlighting them, recognizing their achievement and giving them a voice we hope other schools can learn from these proven practices and we can begin to take their success to scale throughout the state.”
